Observe: 1. I see a Coca-Cola Shack on a dirt road in what seems to be the middle of nowhere. It looks like the shack may be closed because there are no signs of customers being there or inside the store. 2. First, I notice that the shack appears to be empty and that nobody is there. I can feel the loneliness and stillness of the picture when I look at it. 6. Words that I see include: Coca-Cola, Nehi, Circus, Montgomery, and Tonic. Reflect: 7. People are missing from this image. In this image stands a lonely shack with no customers to fill it. 8. If something made this picture today, it would probably be a picture of a huge grocery store rather than a tiny shack due to the industrialization since the Depression. I also believe that there would be a crowd of people waiting outside that are trying to get into the store to find the best deals of our modern economical depression. 1. I think that this image was made to show the emptiness of the stores during the Depression. The families of the Depression struggled to make ends meet, so it was rare for them to go to the store with extra money to buy food. Question: 2. I wonder why the photographer chose to take a picture of a Coca Cola Shack in Alabama. 3.I wonder how much income the average family had during the Depression 4. I wonder what city of Alabama that this picture was taken in, I think that it is Montgomery because there is a sign for a circus in Montgomery.

Observe: 1. I see a colored plantation worker. 2. The first that I notice is that he is sitting in the middle of a field. 3. A man is shown and other objects that are shown include trees, the sky, and some kind of crop growing behind him. Reflect: 7. The other platation workers that should be working on this field are missing from this picture. 8. If someone made this picture today, there would still be people working on the field, but there would be an equal amount of whites and blacks working together due to the fact that we aren't living in times of segregation anymore. 5. The tools that were used to create this picture are a camera and sunlight. Question: 4. I wonder what part of Alabama this plantation is in, I also wonder if the owner was white or colored. 1.
